The UW-Madison Police Department saw a marked decrease in the number of student citations and ejections at the Badger’s home game against the University of South Florida Saturday, according to a UWPD report.
Only 14 students were arrested at Saturday’s game, which is less than half of the 36 students who were arrested last week against Bowling Green. Student section seat ejections also fell to 22 from 34 last week.
Additionally, the highest blood alcohol content among fans decreased from .321 to .301. However, five people were transported to a detox center, up from only two people last week.
Underage alcohol consumption was the leading reason for student citations and ejections, followed by over-intoxication, possession of alcohol, smoking, disorderly conduct, theft and trespassing.
In total, paramedics were called for treatment 17 times and two people were taken to local hospitals.
